Description: "Written by notable authorities from the several disciplines involved with tuberculosis research, this book is the first pictorial histopathology atlas with annotations on tuberculosis. The book's drug discovery and animal model perspective makes in applicative rather than academic and presents the material in a highly readable format. Each section will cover the manifestations of induced or acquired pulmonary tuberculosis in one of six animal species (models) - human, non-human primate, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, and mouse. It provides low, medium, and high power microscopy views of lung tissue in color to enhance the understanding of TB for newcomers and the senior tuberculosis researchers."--Provided by publisher.
